They Flyers will be in good shape if their young talent stays on pace (JVR, Giroux, Schenn when he plays). They really need some solid goaltending, but giving up Richards AND Carter? That was more than I expected. I hate the guy, but Briere is gonna have to step it up even more and become a 40+ goal scorer.
I think the Kings look the best in all of this. Hopefully they can play as a more cohesive unit with their top 3 stars (Kopitar, Richards, Penner). They have solid guys who can score in addition to them (Brown, Williams).
Obviously the Blue Jackets are better than they were before the trade. They NEEDED someone for Nash to play with. That guys is amazing, but has to be a one man show. I think the Nash/Carter duo will be good for them. Now if its enough to make the playoffs and make a run....not so sure.
Draft party tonight?
Well that's it in a nutshell. Yeah, a real good goaltender was needed (always is) but to give up those guy to get him may turn around and bite them.
Oh well, it will make things interesting, that's for sure.
I'll always root for the Blackhawks.
Setoguchi was fantastic in the playoffs.
But regardless... any plans on who to root for next?
Says the guy in the Bruins jersey.
I'm sure they have more than enough fair weather fans.

I think the Wild did a smart thing moving Burns, but they could have got a little more than they did. He was not signing on again there, so they got something at least. Better to so that then wait for him to leave you with nothing in the offseason.
Leaving me hanging guys, where am I supposed to turn to for my hockey fix...and its only end of June.

We find out shortly if JJ returns to Pittsburgh.
Checked out the Jets site for the first time today. It's strange reading the meet our boys section and having another city talk about your team. (Seems like the past couple times I've posted here, it's been lamenting the loss of the Thrashers). I'm gonna need to buy a Sabres jersey soon and make the full transition back to my childhood team. It'll probably be better that way anyway, at least they make the playoffs.
Jagr is the new Lebron?
Let the over paying of a thin free agent class commence!
jagr pulled a favre! The flyers?! Pittsburgh deserves to be upset.
